I'm not a bar expert by any means, but the area around Emerald Isle probably has at least five or six bars and a couple of clubs.
The area definitely doesn't close down, it is a low key atmosphere, and you can have dogs on the beach on leash, though there are some pretty deserted areas where people let them run and have fun in the water.
All the restaurants in the area are open, though a couple have cut their hours. There is probably additional activity in Morehead and Jacksonville but I know even less about their bars.
Locally there is the
Emerald Club, and here is a
Google list (http://tinyurl.com/249jsj - broken link) of some others. There might be one or two out of date entries.
There are more like the Dive, T&Ws Oyster Bar, and the Ice House in Swansboro.
